Invisible Kingdom Volume 1

The inevitable plot twist was obvious from the get go. The Technicolor palette that seems to be the extreme backlash against the grim dark style of the 1990s-2000s is becoming a bit of a cliche. http://pussreboots.com/blog/2022/comm...

** spoiler alert ** After the first volume's breakneck pace, I understand the need to a breather volume but damn, this one is glacial. If we stall them in space while the bigger threats are gathering, maybe we can up the sexual tension between characters? No. I don't care enough about any of the Sundog's crew or the None they picked up. With the scavenger plot feeling like Firefly fanfic, the sexual tension here reads like Shepherd Book suddenly getting the hots for Mal Reynolds. http://pussreboots.com/blog/2022/comm...

The artwork is beautiful so it's worth reading just to enjoy how beautiful the comic is. The story felt a little chaotic and rushed but I think it has a lot of potential.

Invisible Kingdom has a lot of great things going for it. It is a fast-paced narrative that happens to be quite relevant with wisdom and mind-bending visuals about a novice nun (none) and space courier for a major corporation discovering a conspiracy between the dominant religion and the all-powerful mega corporation. When they do, they become prey in a desperate interstellar chase in order to suppress the truth. The story line is pretty great, is often humorous, and has moments of wisdom. Christian Wards art is mostly wonderful, full of vivid and popping color work although some of the action scenes of quite busy. If you love action-oriented, space capers - you'll love this.
